The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. – Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. – They that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. – Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. |
God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. |
Be ye … followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints. … Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. |
